Xia Hongsheng came out of the palace, went to visit Xu Xiaode, had lunch at Xu Xiaode's house, and went back to Jingyang directly in the afternoon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ、

When I went back to Jingyang, I also went directly to the county government.

"Yang Xiancheng, this county asked you to invite some merchants in Jingyang County, when will you set the time?" Xia Hongsheng went to Jingyang County, directly found Yang Xiancheng, and asked.

Although Yang Xiancheng didn't understand why Xia Hongsheng was in a hurry, he also replied respectfully: "If you go back to the county order, it will be the day after tomorrow." The humble also thought that if the county magistrate did not come back by then, he would have to send someone to inform him to move the time. ”

"Okay." Xia Hongsheng looked at Yang Xiancheng, then turned around and closed the door, called Qi Yong to call Master Shen over, and then stood outside and watched, not allowing anyone to approach.

"Lord County Order, this is ......" Yang County Cheng couldn't help but wonder when he saw Xia Hongsheng asking Qi Yong to close the door and not let people approach.

Xia Hongsheng pointed to the chair and said, "Yang Xiancheng, Shen is the master of the book, sit down and say." ”

After the two of them sat down, Xia Hongsheng said to Yang County Cheng and Shen Zhushu: "Now, Ben Hou has put down his original official position, and the purpose of going to Jingyang to make this county order should also be known to the two of them. ”

Yang Xiancheng and Shen Zhushu were both startled, glanced at each other, and then looked at Xia Hongsheng in unison.

Xia Hongsheng continued: "These days, the people of Guanjing County in this county, and only Yang County Cheng and Shen Zhushu can know about this matter. Speaking of which, Ben Hou informed the two of them today that after going out of this gate, these words must not be known to the fourth person. Even if they are relatives in the family, it is not good. If this matter leaks out of the mouths of the two and therefore cannot be done, His Majesty will blame it, and Benhou will become the one who bears the blame, but because of his identity as a colt, even if it is not good, at least he will not lose his life. As for the two of them, I'm afraid that being exiled to Dongying Road or Linyi Road to go to the border Tuntian is already light. However, if this matter is successful, then the two of them will make great contributions to His Majesty, and then they will be knighted and their names will go down in history, and they will all be in the bag! ”

When Yang Xiancheng and Shen heard this, they were even more shocked. The two looked at each other, and Yang Xiancheng asked, "This ...... I don't know what Hou Ye said, what is going on? ”

"Your Majesty ordered Ben Hou to go to Jingyang to make this Jingyang County Decree, the purpose is to let Ben Hou try out two new laws in Jingyang." Xia Hongsheng looked at the reactions of the two, smiled, and said.

"New laws?" Shen Zhushu said: "The laws of our dynasty have always been revised by the three provinces, and His Majesty approved them, and then they were implemented by proclaiming their will to the world. This...... But I've never heard of anyone trying it first! ”

"Didn't you hear about Master Shen?" Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "These two new laws have a huge impact, and if they are implemented rashly, they will be killed and killed." Therefore, His Majesty ordered Ben Hou to give it a try in Jingyang. If it is feasible, it will be implemented step by step. If it is not feasible, the impact of a county will be smaller. ”

While speaking, Xia Hongsheng took out the two first drafts, put them in front of the two, and said, "Let's take a look at the two of you first, and you will know why Ben Hou said this." ”

The two looked down at the first draft that Xia Hongsheng put in front of them, and hesitated.

"If you want to do this, if you want to do it, if you have Ben Hou here, you will at least be able to do it in Jingyang. Once it is done, if Your Majesty starts to implement it, hehe, it is not Ben Hou who is talking big here, and the history of a state is very easy. Xia Hongsheng saw the hesitation of the two, so he said: "The two of them are extremely capable people, do they really only want to be in this small Jingyang County Ya but have no name in this life?" Instead of helping His Majesty, and leaving his name on the history? ”

After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, the two looked at each other again, gritted their teeth, stretched out their hands, picked up a copy, and flipped through it.

Xia Hongsheng quietly watched the reaction of the two.

didn't turn a few pages, Yang Xiancheng and Shen Zhushu were already sweating on their foreheads, and after looking at a few more pages, Yang Xiancheng suddenly closed the book in his hand, his eyes glared at the boss in shock, looked at Xia Hongsheng in a daze, and said in a trembling voice: "Open...... Business limit?! Master Hou, this ...... Are you kidding?! ”

"Business Limit?!" Master Shen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly lowered his head and quickly turned a few pages on the book in his hand, and then hurriedly raised his head, looked at Yang Xiancheng, and then looked at Xia Hongsheng, and said, "I see...... This, this new tax system...... I'm afraid that this business restriction is for the new tax system! ”

"New tax system?!" Yang Xiancheng turned his head abruptly and looked at Master Shen.

The two looked at Xia Hongsheng together.

Xia Hongsheng just smiled lightly and said: "In today's world, the people are poor, and the nobles, scholars, and businessmen are all rich. The tax system now in place has caused the common people to contribute more, and the rich people to produce less. In this way, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. The poor lost their land, and the nobles and the rich gathered their land. Your Majesty wants to change this situation so that there are fewer poor and more rich. Moreover, it is unfair that a businessman makes a lot of profits, but he pays very little tax. Therefore, this new tax system is based on assets, not on individuals. And the nobles, merchants, craftsmen, farmers, and people all over the world are included in the scope of tax, and those with more assets pay more, and those with less assets pay less, which is called the public! As a result, the imperial court was able to increase its tax revenue, which was allocated to various places and used on the people. ”

"Everyone in the world is taxed...... Only take assets as the foundation, not Ding as the foundation......" Yang Xiancheng repeated stunned.

"Not bad." Xia Hongsheng said: "As soon as the new tax system comes out, His Majesty, the Queen Mother, the adult princes and princesses, and the common people of Li will all pay the corresponding taxes according to the amount of personal assets they have. More pays, less pays! ”

"Your Majesty also has to pay taxes?!" Master Shen's eyes widened.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Your Majesty is also a member of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally you have to pay taxes." Ben Hou, and two other adults, also have to pay taxes. Naturally, Benhou has more assets than the two adults, so the taxes payable by the Benhou are much more than those of the two adults. ”

"This ...... Hou Ye ......" Yang Xiancheng sweated, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said: "This move...... It's a dangerous move! ”

"Exactly." Xia Hongsheng said: "Therefore, Benhou came to Jingyang and became the commander of Jingyang County, and first tried this method in Jingyang. However, the results came out, which made the courtiers red-eyed and envious, and naturally some people hoped that this law could be implemented in the side. A spark can start a prairie fire! ”

After that, Xia Hongsheng stood up again, solemnly and solemnly saluted the two, and said: "Two adults, please for the sake of the people of the world, help Benhou and His Majesty to do this, teach the people of the world, and thus benefit, teach the Tang Dynasty and the imperial court, and therefore for a long time!" ”

Yang Xiancheng and Shen Zhushu glanced at each other, took a deep breath, bent down, bowed, and said solemnly: "For the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, dare not serve the death force?!" (To be continued.) )
